Godfather Of Champions

In the visiting team's locker room during the intermission, the players are taking time to rest, replenishing water, and wiping off sweat from their bodies with towels. Dunn was talking on the side.

"One goal lead is not enough. You were completely suppressed by Manchester United for a short time in the first half. This is not good. You have to attack and fight against Manchester United! Know why we played more and more late in the second half of the first half, and finally Was it suppressed by Manchester United?" Dunn walked around in the locker room, surrounded by busy players, but they did listen to Dunn.

"Every time we attacked the frontcourt, we always wanted to threaten Manchester United's goal in the simplest and most direct way. What was the result? The turnover rate was too high, which led to the loss of the ball too quickly. As I said, in this game against Manchester United, we have to change our habit of liking straight passes. Manchester United has made arrangements for us to like straight passes. If we pass straight, we will only hit them in their arms. After attacking the frontcourt in the second half Don't rush forward to pass the ball..."

Nottingham Forest likes to pass through and the game is fast. These are all well-known, and some teams will make some articles about them to curb the offensive firepower of the Forest team.

Manchester United is like that. In response to Nottingham Forest’s preference for direct passes, Ferguson asked the team’s defense to take offside and strengthened the robbery in the midfield. Otherwise, why would he play Hargreaves and Carrick?

The goal that the Forest team scored was actually the result of Manchester United's offside failure. Van Nistelrooy was at the forefront, and Eastwood did not have an offside issue when he intervened. As a result, he easily scored a goal without being marked. I believe that Ferguson will be dissatisfied with the loss of the ball during the intermission.

"In the frontcourt, we strive to keep the football under our feet. If there is no good chance, don't rush forward to pass the ball. Do you have no confidence in holding the ball on the foot? If they shrink too tightly, after a few passes If you still can't find a suitable space, then pass the football back and pull them out. Don't just compress their formation, it's just compressing our own attacking space."

"Nuri."

Shaheen raised his head.

"Your pass in the first half was very good, very good." Dunn praised Sha Xin by name, which made Sha Xin very happy. But then Dunn changed his tone: "However, you made too many straight passes in the first half. Did you count how many times you made mistakes in these passes?"

The smile on Sha Xin's face was a bit embarrassing.

"I don't blame you, Nuri. But as a midfielder, you have to learn to analyze the situation on the field at all times. You have to have different countermeasures in different situations. If you can pass directly, just keep your head and keep passing. In the game, you are the brain of the team. If the brain is confused, how can the team perform normally? You made too many forward pass errors in the first half, especially in the second half, which gave Manchester United a lot. Opportunity to fight back on the spot. If you realize this earlier, we won't be ugly in the end."

Don't look at the usual smile of Dun En, but if he really criticizes someone, it can really be regarded as "relentless". If the psychological quality is almost the same, I am afraid it will fall into a psychological shadow. But in fact, if it is a player he doesn't care about, he doesn't bother to say something bad. Any player who can be criticized by him in this way shows that they still have some status in Dunn's heart. Once, when Anelka and Dunn had a conflict, Dunn and he could not say a word to each other, and completely regarded each other as air.

Sha Xin bowed his head when Dun En said. He knew that the boss valued him very much, but in front of so many teammates, he was said to be so miserable, and it was really shameless.

"In the second half, we will be more patient when we attack... Two wings, don't rush to the forefront in one breath, pay attention to keep your distance with the central midfielder. If you rush too fast, you will lose contact with them. Manchester United will hope very much. Seeing this happened. Freddie did a great job. He always retreated actively, connecting the frontcourt with the midfielder. Luther did a good job, and he was at the forefront to attract the attention of the opponent. force."

After talking about offense, Dunn started talking about defense. In the second half of the first half, Manchester United did not lose a ball under pressure. Dunn was quite satisfied with the team's defense. In fact, for several consecutive seasons, Dunn's most reassuring is always the defense. Nottingham Forest's defense is great, and it's definitely not blown out of the mouth.

"We did a good job defensively. George, your main task in the second half is still defensive."

Wood nodded without any objection. Some players prefer to attack, even if he is a midfielder, he also hopes to show their talents in attack, so as to get cheers from fans and the media. But Wood is not that kind of player. He has no preference for offense or defense. He does whatever the team needs.

"Since most of our energy in this game is on offense, the defensive task of the back line is more important. I hope you stay vigilant for every second of the remaining 45 minutes and pay attention to Manchester United Every attack that may appear. Manchester United will definitely strengthen the offensive in the second half, but our frontcourt players may not be able to provide more help. Sometimes you need to rely on your own... In addition, we can pay attention to the ball in the frontcourt, but I don’t I hope to see you falling back repeatedly in the backcourt. It is very dangerous, you know?"

The players on the back line agreed.

"Manchester United will definitely push up the attack because they are behind in the away game. This is our chance! Seize their open space, score another goal and knock them down! Don't be merciful, everyone!"

The players laughed.

He wanted to be merciful when he played Manchester United, that was a lunatic.

※※※

For the Forest team, although Dunn criticized Shaheen's performance, overall, the atmosphere is still very harmonious and relaxed. After all, they are now ahead.

But in the Manchester United locker room, the atmosphere is a bit bad.

Ferguson lost his temper in the locker room with a dark face, showing off his “hair dryer” power.

Big names such as Ronaldo and Rooney, who were scolded by Ferguson, did not dare to take a breath and couldn't straighten their waists.

"I asked you to make an offside, but I didn't let you miss someone! Eastwood intervened after being so obvious. Why would you make an offside if you didn't keep up? Hargreaves, you are the barrier before the central defender, how can you? Let Eastwood escape from your place of responsibility so easily? What do you want to do with this person, what are you watching? The center defense was easily hit by them so big a hole! You are just a **** display!"

After venting, Ferguson took a short break and began to tell the team what to do in the second half.

"You have to pull the score back, and the sooner the better! If you can't, it will only bring confidence to the Forest team. This game is not the same as we played with the Forest team before. Tony Dunn will not shrink in the second half. Let us attack in the second half. They will come out and confront us head-on. We must be careful not to increase the score while trying to equalize. Midfield!" Ferguson put his hands on the tactical board, "The midfield is still the most important thing. Yes! If we can control the midfielder, we can directly threaten the opponent's goal. If the midfielder is controlled by the opponent, you **** just wait to cry!"

"Carrick, Hargreaves, you two must play a more important role. Shaheen is just a kid, and Dunn’s letting him play the front midfielder is a risky act. Don’t worry about George Wood’s back-in, he This game will definitely stay honestly in the backcourt defense. So you just need to put more pressure on Shaheen, conduct a more closely guarded defense, let him lose the ball, make mistakes, and destroy his confidence."

The two midfielders nodded obediently: "Understood, boss."

"Not only is the midfield to grab, you must also actively fight in the frontcourt. Do not hesitate to grab! This is how the opportunity comes. As long as we score an equalizer goal, the morale of the opponent will be affected, and then we Continue to attack, continue to grab, don’t give me strength. It’s not enough to tie the score, at least two goals are needed. 3:1 can guarantee that they lose the ability to resist..."

Having said that, Ferguson felt wrong. I'm afraid that 3:1 won't work, is it easy for Tony to give in?

"Of course, it's better if you can score more goals. I won't have too many four goals and five goals." So Ferguson added.

The Manchester United players all took Ferguson's remarks as a joke, and used it to enliven the overly dull and serious atmosphere in the dressing room. Who dares to say that they scored four goals and five goals in Nottingham Forest must be a self-righteous idiot.

※※※

When the players from both sides ran onto the court one after another from the hallway, cheers broke out in the stands of Old Trafford Stadium, which was slightly quieter, and the intermission was about to pass.

Dunn met Ferguson when he walked out, and he found that the other's face was not good, knowing that the old man must have lost his temper in the locker room. Such a big person is still so hot, does he really want to retire because he is worried about his body?

Ferguson also saw Dun En, because Dun En was looking at him with a smile, only the blind would not notice. He didn't snorted coldly, then turned and left, but went straight up: "Tony, I heard that you like to bet. Shall we make a bet too?"

"Ok?"

"This game, if you lose. You will come to Manchester United to coach next season."

Dunn shrugged: "I don't participate in such boring gambling."

"Because you are afraid you can't win." Ferguson suddenly laughed.

"Don't want to provoke me, Sir." Dunn shook his head, "We can bet on something else. For example, if you lose, you can sell Ronaldo to me."

Ferguson's face changed, but soon returned to normal.

"How can I accept such a stupid bet?"

Dunn opened his hands: "Look, Sir. We all have things we don't want to bet on, so stop betting."

Where did Ferguson really want to bet with Dunn, he just wanted to interfere with Dunn through this kind of thing. For him, psychological warfare must be attacked around the clock, and he will not let go of any opportunity that may cause interference to his opponent. However, Dunn clearly understood this, and shot back calmly.

The last two had no choice but to make peace.

Ferguson mumbled: "I hope the second half will be exciting." He turned and left.

Dunn also turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

The second half is about to begin.

※※※

As Dunn said at halftime, Manchester United used their opportunity to kick-off from the beginning of the second half to launch a fierce attack on the Forest goal.

Nottingham Forest was completely suppressed and could only be forced to defend.

Dunn kept roaring from the sidelines, and then used gestures to ask the players to press out and press out.

Ferguson stared at the court with a serious face, forgetting to chew the gum.

The sooner a goal is scored, the better for Manchester United.

Nottingham Forest withstood Manchester United's fierce offensive and did not lose a ball within ten minutes of being besieged by Manchester United. Then Manchester United was slightly weaker, and the Forest team pressed out and played against Manchester United. The two sides launched a fierce fight in the midfield.

Shaheen has been taken care of by Manchester United. Every time he takes the ball, he will attract a fierce pressure from a Manchester United player. If he is not paying attention, the ball under his feet may be lost.

Manchester United did this very effectively. The Forest team's offense was in a quagmire, and Manchester United used this opportunity to fight several threatening counterattacks. Sha Xin seemed a little isolated and helpless, Dunn had to make Wood and the two wingers consciously lean in the middle for support. Finally turned the scene back.

Fifteen minutes later in the second half, the two sides were deadlocked at a score of 1:0.

During this period, Ferguson also walked off the coaching bench again. The team did not score a goal at the beginning of the second half as he had hoped. It can be seen that the mood of the Nottingham Forest players has gradually stabilized. This won't work...

The pressure is not enough...

※※※

After seeing that the situation on the court was calming down, Dunn breathed a sigh of relief, turned and walked back to the coach's bench to sit down.

1:0 is indeed very dangerous, but at any rate they have survived one level.

Unable to attack for a long time, Manchester United must be impatient. At that time, it is the forest team's opportunity. Only there is no surprise, he is confident to take away three points at Old Trafford.

※※※

Shaheen countered the ball after losing the ball in midfield, but caused a foul. The referee whistled for Manchester United to take a free kick, and by the way Shaheen pulled over and gave him a verbal warning. Other Nottingham Forest players turned and ran back, preparing to defend another offensive by Manchester United.

Those Forest players who turned their bodies over did not notice the following scene:

Hargreaves took the ball and swayed the ball. The football had just landed, but he bent over and kicked it out!

Free kick fast!

When Ronaldo received the ball, there was not even a player from Nottingham Forest within five meters. Wood was far in the middle and Rafinha was dragged behind. Abonraho surrounded the referee and protested the penalty because he Feeling that Shaheen did not foul at all, Rio Ferdinand is suspected of diving.

"Ronaldo received the ball! He is completely unmarked! Empty!"

The Manchester United fans who had just quieted down in the stands instantly regained their vitality, and they burst into huge cheers to cheer for Ronaldo.

The Forest players were not prepared for Manchester United’s free kick. Even if Ronaldo received the ball, they were still stunned. They even turned to look at the referee and linesman, hoping they would blow the ball back and let Manchester United re-send it. .

They were disappointed. After seeing that Manchester United had taken a free kick, the referee did not stand in place and whistle. Instead, he dropped Shaheen and Abangraho and ran forward together. This is obviously a default effective action.

Until this time, the players of the Forest team woke up like a dream, one by one, they rushed to Ronaldo and quickly withdrew the defense line.

But it was too late.

Ronaldo rushed into the penalty area with the ball, and Rafinha didn't even react on the wing.

Pepe rushed to defend, intending to push his Portuguese captain to the perimeter, unable to directly threaten the goal.

Ronaldo made a feint of an emergency stop and then suddenly accelerated to dial the football to the outside.

At the same time, Peppa was out.

He didn't play football because Ronaldo had already pushed aside. He stepped directly on Ronaldo's feet.

Ronaldo screamed and jumped up and fell to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded, and everyone turned their heads reflexively to look at the referee who was running over, staring nervously at his gesture-he pointed to the penalty spot!

"Penalty! Ooo! It's a penalty! Ronaldo's beautiful breakthrough earned Manchester United a penalty! The players of Nottingham Forest surrounded the referee, and Peppa waved his hands incessantly to indicate that he did not commit a foul. Ronaldo flopped. At this moment he can't care about the friendship of fellow citizens..."

Ronaldo curled up on the ground while clutching his feet, looking like Pepe's foot was not treading lightly.

Berbatov rushed to hug Ronaldo, and found that Ronaldo was indeed injured, not a flop... he quickly raised his hand to sign for the team doctor.

Some other Manchester United players ran to care about Ronaldo, while others celebrated the penalty together.

For a time, there were all sounds of mess in the forest team's penalty area.

The referee dispelled the forest team players who were chattering around him and insisted on penalizing them. At the same time, the Manchester United team doctor ran up to help Ronaldo to the sidelines for treatment. When he left the field, he limped and walked, proving that he did not flop just now. Of course, the fans of Nottingham Forest will not let him go-they think the Portuguese even pretend to walk in order to deceive the referee.

This penalty cannot be changed. Nottingham Forest can only accept such results.

Accepting it doesn't mean being calm. Dunn has been gnashing his teeth off the court since the referee awarded the penalty.

"This is Manchester United's home court. Yes, this is Manchester United's home court. I understand, I understand better than anyone, this is Manchester United's home court..."

He was like sister-in-law Xianglin, who kept talking so much and finally recruited the fourth official.

"Can you be quiet, Mr. Dunn?"

"Ah, I shut up right away and say one last time: this is Manchester United's home court!"

"Mr. Dunn!"

"Am I wrong? Could this be our home court?"

The fourth official can basically use this rogue. He just glared at Dunn: "I hope you pay attention to your words, every performance of yours will be recorded in the game report..."

Dunn looked at the stadium, pretending not to hear it at all, and ignored the fourth official.

Since Ronaldo is undergoing treatment off the court, Hargreaves kicked the penalty kick.

Hargreaves easily fooled Akinfeev and pushed the football into the middle.

"Manchester United finally evened the score! In the 61st minute of the game, both sides returned to the same starting line!"

Even if it was just a penalty kick, Ferguson seemed very excited. He rushed down and hugged his assistant to celebrate. Dunn stood on the sidelines with an unhappy expression.

The score was equalized, which is not good news for his team anyway. What's worse, Manchester United's morale will be boosted, which will further threaten Dao Forest's goal.

After all, their opponent is not a random cat and dog team, but the Premier League hegemon Manchester United, and they are still in their nest.

When Ferguson quarreled with Dunn at halftime, those words really worked.

There are 30 minutes left in the second half, it will be very exciting... (To be continued, if you want to know what is going on, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
